Jingu-Shikinen-Sengu / Rebuilding ceremony of ISE GRAND SHRINE


ISE JINGU / Grand shrine of Ise
Ise Jingu is the most important shrine group that locates in the middle of Japan.


More than 85,000 shrines, nameless local small shrine called Hokora, and countless home Kamidana exist for Shinto/Nature worship. 
(All the rituals are for nature protection. Using white magic)

There are two main shrines in the Ise Jingu.
One shrine is Naiku / Koutai-Jingu = Worship place for the Sun / The Sun goddess Amaterasu-Ohomikami / Motherhood
The other is Geku / Toyouke-Daijingu  = Worship place for the Land and the Polaris / Fatherhood

As a rule, people have to visit Geku before visit Naiku.
Geku has an atmosphere of holy bible's world.
Star of David is a Polaris and it means a center of the Universe.

62nd Jingu-Shikinen-Sengu was held in October 2013.
This rebuilding ceremony is held every 20 years.
(Preparation term is 8 years long)

Bird's eye view of Naiku.
Every time, same shrine is rebuilt in the adjacent place of the old shrine place.
After rebuilding a new shrine, the old shrine is taken down
and Shin-no-mihashira pillar is established in the vacant space.
Shin-no-mihashira pillar = height 150cm, diameter 12cm (Two same pillars are buried in Naiku and Geku)

Before current civilization, there was a pillar/mountain warship in Japan.
There is no written record. Only oral tradition.
⇒ Mount Haku / 3 pillars / Root of Shinto
Also, pillars are treated as gods in Shinto or Japan's myth.


At Geku shrine, the pillar is only 60cm length buried.
This means a man or plus energy.

At Naiku shrine, the pillar is full buried.
This means a woman or minus energy.

Plus and minus / Man ans woman  = Opposite energies make strong evolution or future
This is a core concept of Japan
⇒ Crane and Turtle / Japanese and Hebrews / Amatsu and Kunitsu

So, Ise jingu represents a whole-spectacular view of the world and the universe.

I said people need to visit Geku before Naiku.
But Ise-Jingu is known as almost a Sun-worship place.
That's because this current civilization's final theme is motherhood.
Instead of men, women show leadership in any groups.
That makes many groups long lasting.
(Of course there are exceptions...)
Geku must be a hidden exist like a moon
and Naiku must be stand out like the Sun.

Why do we do the Shikinen-sengu ceremony every 20 years?
Main reason is the Emperor's height.
In ancient times, Shin-no-mihashira pillar was cut the size of each era's Emperor.
Ise grand shrine had been keeping each Emperor's height pillar in each era.
But it seems the secret culture was changed by Meiji Tenno.
(Emperor Mutsuhito 1852-1912)
Until the era of Mutsuhito, any Emperors rarely visited Ise grand shrine
because visiting Ise jingu means "meeting-himself".
(Dual/Divided himself = Half energy)
Generally speaking, a statue of still-living-person is not good for his life span.

The other reason is accumulation power of the shrine.
Divinity power of new wood materials decrease in 20 years and tiredness atmosphere accumulate in 20 years.
Especially, road stones in the property absorb bad atmosphere.
Stones or healing crystals are not suitable as an accessory if you have depression.
Piled bad thinking become like radioactivity and it will hurt you.
Anyway, this rebuilding culture have been repeated since 1,300 years ago.
(Ise Grand Shrine was established 2,000 years ago)


 New trees for the rebuilding ceremony.
Those trees are cut down from some sacred mountains.



After rebuilding,priests deliver God mirror from old shrine to new shrine at night time.
This is a highlight of Jingu-Shikinen-Sengu.

Yata-no-kagami is one of the secret Imperial regalia of Japan.
Sample image

The ancient mirror was made of Obsidian and carved like 16 petal of chrysanthemum.


YATA was one of pronunciation of Yahweh in Japan.
Ancient Hebrew language is written on the secret mirror like this↓
"God with you"
and
"The person who has this mirror is responsible-person of God"



Ancient Japan's Emperor was called MIKADO.
This word was also derived from Hebrew language, קדוש/Kadosh.
It means "saint person" or "holy person".

Some Japanese people think that Japanese Emperor came from Jewish,
it is not true.
But there were deep relationships between ancient Japan and Israel.
We have unique genes in our body.
Black eyes and black hair, and opposite energies are really interesting.
Japanese+power and Jewish-power = The opposite powers makes evolution.



This time,rebuilding cost was 55 billion yen.
That money is covered by only donation from private citizen
and shrine's sales revenue of some items like Ofuda for Kamidana.

By the way,some other shrine also periodically rebuild shrines.
This is called Shikinen-Sengu.
(Ise grand shrine's rebuilding ceremony is JINGU-Shikinen-Sengu.
It is very special than others.)
For example,Izumo-Taisha also had this ceremony in 2013.

Renewal/Replacing is Japanese important concept.

Shrine and temple carpenters are called Miya-Daiku.
Their work is really important in japan.
We have to keep this skill forever. Miya-Daiku photos
